    Dawn Redwood First winter

    Anyone who has had Dawn redwoods before have any ideas for this? Let it grow another few seasons before chop? Small chop now and thin some branches out?

    Dawn Redwood Advice

    I have a Dawn redwood I have had since January, it has grown a lot, but here in Texas it has been 100-107 every day. It receives morning sun (6ish-2pm) on an southeast facing balcony. A lot of the interior branches have been dying off, and there are brown tips on the green leaves, should I be...

    For those with Dawn Redwood experience...

    I've found a couple redwoods at the box, and they have relatively large trunks. Downside is they are nor entirely straight (nature isn't perfect), but they've also seen some roughing up I think. Lower leaves are decent, but nearly missing on one side, top looks pretty bare, but doubtful tree is...

    Little Bug that I can’t identify

    Anyone know what this is? Found them all on a dying juniper in my garden about two weeks ago and sprayed some neem oil. Then two days ago a potted up a Dawn redwood sapling that I just got and when I went out today I saw the same bugs so I snapped a pic real quick. Are they pests or are they...

    Dawn Redwood grove

    Picked up this Dawn Redwood forest and pot at our club auction last fall. The pot is really huge (about 25-26 inches across) and unique and that's mainly what I was bidding on - it was made by an older member of the club who can't really do pottery anymore and I want to own a few pieces of his...

    Dawn Redwood Growth

    I just got some Dawn redwood seeds for next year. I am wondering what everyone’s ideas are for best germination practices? Also does anyone have a progression from seed - seedling - tree? I can’t seem to find good timelines of them. I’m wondering how many years it’ll take to get a decent...

    Purchasing a redwood/young redwood care

    Hi all, I'm quite new to this hobby and would like any advice or input anybody is willing to give me. In fact, as of now, I haven't styled, nor do I yet plan to style, any trees.

    Care of Dawn Redwood Bonsai on summer. Help please.

    Greetings. I recently acquired a forest of 5 Dawn Redwood Bonsai which arrived to my home full of life as you can see in the first picture. I decided to put it outside the window and water it once per day. I live in an island in Spain with a humidity of 50-70% and temperatures between 30 and 34...

    Dawn Redwood Rooting?

    Hello everyone! This is my first post on Bonsai Nut, but I have around 30 bonsai and have been working with them for approximately five years. I recently went on vacation for six days, and to keep my plants alive, I placed them in a circle with two sprinklers in the middle. All my bonsai are in...

    Dawn Redwood leaves getting brown & wilted

    Hi folks - I'm a bonsai newbie on my second year growing out a pre-bonsai dawn redwood. A couple days ago, I noticed it has several leaves that have turned brown and wilted, which are scattered across the tree. We had a couple prematurely hot days over the weekend (almost 90*), but I gave the...

    Thickening dawn redwood trunk ... pruning = bad?

    Hi - Bonsai newbie here. I got a dawn redwood in May this year and it appears to be growing well. Trunk is around an inch in diameter at its base, and so far I've just been focused on trying to keep it healthy and thickening the trunk. Eventually I'll look to do a trunk chop and work on...

    Dawn Redwood foliage problem.

    Hi all! Just a quick question. As you can see from the photos some of the foliage on my dawn redwood is turning reddish brown. :( Could it be too much fertilizer? I hope that it’s not something worse. I fed it with an 18-4-10 slow release fert in teabags for about a month and a half, and then...

    Out of town, potential frost help!

    Recently purchased little (2 foot) Dawn Redwood in zone 6a. Still in nursey pot. I left town for a few days and had watering set up, but the forecast changed and now the next few nights are supposed to get down to 28-30 degree F. There are a lot of buds on the tree currently. If I was home, I...

    Dawn Redwood and Oak seedlings in trouble

    Hey all! I hope this is the right forum for this thread, if I need to post to a different one no worries. Looking for advice on how to keep my last three year-old Dawn Redwood seedlings alive. I’m unsure if the browning and shedding of leaves is from dehydration, lack of fertiliser or lack of...

    New Trees

    Hi Everyone, I just acquired some new trees and figured I’d share them with the group. @cbroad mentioned that Meehans Miniatures in Maryland was in my area so I went with them and ordered a Dawn Redwood, Trident Maple, and a Bald Cypress. Once I am able to more freely travel I plan on going...

    Tree Identification

    Hi this is the first tree I have purchased. It was sold to me as a Dawn Redwood but I’m not so sure. First off, the leaves are still green. I assume a dawn redwood would at least have its fall colors by now if not have already dropped its leaves. Secondly, the tree has two types of foliage...

    Finally getting in to Bonsai after YEARS of interest. My first tree (Nursery Stock)

    First post here. I've been interested in Bonsai for many many years. There was always some excuse or reason not to start...No more I say. After many YouTube videos of professionals (Peter Chan at Herons, and Bonsai Mirai mainly), and lurking here for about a month, I decided to start looking for...

    Round 2 of the Ebihara Method

    Last season I took a whack at the Ebihara method and, well that tree is dead now. I figured since it’s a new season, why not try again and hopefully not kill this one. So here’s my 2nd attempt at the Ebihara method:
